Planning consent has been secured from the London Borough of Westminster for a new rooftop bar at the Trocadero in London’s West End.

Barrett Mahony were appointed by Criterion Capitol for the structural engineering works associated with the redevelopment of the Trocadero Hotel and now for the new Skybar extension.

The Skybar incorporates a circa 17,500 sq. ft. venue, including a covered bar and a restaurant, as well as a 4,500 sq. ft. outdoor terrace. The new Skybar will be constructed in line with the current redevelopment of the existing eastern half of the Trocadero block into a 740 bed hotel.

The proposed new structure will be of lightweight steel frame construction wrapped in a seamed zinc mansard façade.
